    Hi,

     

    Please take a try with the way below:

    You can use the following JavaScript to switch into view mode, if you are in edit mode

    ```javascript
// Switch to view mode.
report.switchMode("view");
```

    You can use the following JavaScript to switch into edit mode, if you are in view mode

    ```javascript
// Switch to edit mode.
report.switchMode("edit");
```

Thanks Michael.  This works. The current TypeScript definitions require a models.ViewMode enum value, but if I bypass the TypeScript def and pass in a string as you suggest it works. Looks like the library just needs to be updated so that it sends the string value instead of the numeric value of the enum.
